NYTimes Article follows "Enslaved"
This New York Times article written by John Eligon interviews Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson on their recent experience filming and producing Enslaved.
"Slavery, of course, was not a new topic of scholarship, and Hollywood had already done a lot on the subject. But he discussed it with his wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and something in particular stood out to them. This was a project attempting to tell the story of slavery in part through the lens of sunken slave ships that never reached their destination — ships that became mass graves of kidnapped Africans. It was a perspective, they felt, that could add to society’s understanding of the horrors of slavery.
'That is a worthwhile story to tell,' Mr. Jackson said in an interview this week."

The first episode of "Enslaved" is available to stream on Epix.
Exclaim! Reviews 'Catch and Release' and the statement on ProLife
Exclaim! reporter Alisha Mughal reviews 'Catch and Release' and the films statement on the Pro-Life agenda.

"She Never Died" Review on NowToronto
Posted recently was a review of our film "She Never Died" on Now Toronto by author, Norman Wilner.
"So there’s this woman named Lacey. She’s cranky, keeps to herself, spends a lot of time being disappointed by the world. And on a possibly related note, sometimes she murders people and eats their fingers. It’s nothing weird, mind you; she just needs the bone marrow.
Played with a hooded stare and a set jaw by Oluniké Adeliyi, Lacey is the hero of She Never Died, Audrey Cummings’s sequel to Jason Krawczyk’s 2015 oddity He Never Died – you remember: the one where Henry Rollins stomps around murdering people and glumly eating oatmeal, though never at the same time. It’s on Netflix. It’s worth a look."

"She Never Died" Review on Exclaim.ca
"She Never Died" is reviewed on Exclaim.ca for their "Blood in the Snow Review". Please check it out!
"She Never Died, the third feature from Canadian director Audrey Cummings and the followup/flipside to 2015's horror-comedy He Never Died, is consistently feminist without being preachy. She Never Died packages a story about trauma and strength within a fun, action-packed sequel that stands tall on its own, with an incredible star turn from lead actor Olunike Adeliyi."
Rue Morgue's Review of "She Never Died"
Find the full article here.
"Written by Jason Krawczyk but now directed by relative newcomer Audrey Cummings, SHE NEVER DIED feels less like a successor to the first instalment, HE NEVER DIED, and more a reimagining of the principle film’s protagonist, secondary characters, locations and themes. Just like Jack, the heroine (Lacey) this time around is still a morose, diner-dwelling individual with a lack of empathy toward anyone. She’s reluctant to do anything other than exist until happenstance has her finally form a human bond between an elderly cop (Peter MacNeill) and a young woman (Kiana Madeira) who’s made some rather poor life choices."
